Chapter 67: Meeting the Dead Again (1)

It's easy for me to remember the names and habits of herbs, but it's hard to distinguish between herbs with similar morphologies. Obviously there are the same leaves and flowers of the same color, but one is a good medicine for diseases, and the other is a poison that harms people.

Yichen said all the herbs in the medicine garden. In the end, he took out a few similar herbs and tested me. I said two out of ten things wrong, and I was very disappointed. But Yichen twisted his beard thoughtfully.

"Master, is there anyone else besides me?" Like a little tail, I kept following the doctor and asking questions.

"I received one half a month ago, and now I'm going up the mountain to collect medicine."

"Herbs? At this time, the grass on the mountain has not yet sprouted, where is the medicine to be picked? ”

Yichen glared at me, and three words popped out of his mouth: "Wild potato." ”

"Wild sweet potatoes are picked in winter, and the roots of the flowers and leaves are taken into medicine, which is cold and slightly toxic, and it is the best to treat bruises." I memorized the book as it had been written.

"What's the use of rote memorization? To recognize it, to smell it is the ability. Yichen threw down his small hoe and stood up from the medicine garden with an expressionless face, "I'm going down the mountain, and you stay here for a few days." In the field behind the house, there are some fruits and vegetables that can be eaten and poisons that cannot be eaten, so you can see for yourself before you eat them. In addition, the medicine scriptures I wrote are piled up in the house, so I have time to read more! ”

"Master Xie's teachings."

"Don't call too early, if you don't get poisoned after seven days, it's not too late to call again." The old man seemed to be very unaccustomed to human contact, and I pestered him for a long time, and he was already a little crazy.

"No!"

The medicine scriptures that Yichen said were piled up more than one person high, and it was thought that it was the brainchild of his many years. I took a few scrolls and found a lot of interesting things.

The most on Mount Hua are pine trees. It is recorded in the handscroll of medical dust that pine bark can be cut with a knife to obtain pine resin, wrapped in a fine cloth bag and boiled in boiling water. Among the ten common people in the world, there are nine people with yellow teeth and rotten teeth. When I joined the army at the age of four, I already had four rotten teeth, and after I lost my teeth for the first time at the age of eight, Wu Feng ordered the servants to send me a small dish of sea salt every day for me to clean my teeth. After changing my teeth, I rinsed my mouth four times a day, and I didn't dare to fall down once. Now that I've found such a good recipe, I can't help but start doing it right away.

Yichen's medicine scriptures are like a treasure trove, and I study and make them every day, and I am very busy.

There was so much deadly poison planted in the field behind the house that I was too timid to eat it casually, so I made a simple spear throwing. The medicine garden is warm and humid, and small animals often visit, so my diet in the past few days has been solved.

Seven days later, Yichen did not come, but a boy who was only seven or eight years old came.

"May I ask if the girl is Yichen's apprentice?" The boy was young, but he was very sophisticated in his speech.

I thought about it, since he hasn't died after seven days, he should be regarded as Yichen's apprentice, right? So, he nodded and said, "What is the boy looking for me?" ”

"The head of the Xun hexagram is injured, please follow me down the mountain for treatment."

As soon as I heard this, I was immediately dumbfounded, how can I, a person who doesn't have half a bucket of water, go down the mountain to save people?

"The master is at the bottom of the mountain, why didn't the boy go to him?"

"Yichen was drunk for a thousand days last night, and he couldn't wake up when he poured ice water on him. The main thing was bleeding, and I asked the girl to go down the mountain with me. "Looking at the boy's appearance, it seems that the situation is very urgent.

"Wait, I'll be right here!"

Wounded, bleeding......

I plucked a few herbs from memory to stop bleeding in the medicine garden, went to the doctor's dust cabinet and took a piece of unicorn, ran outside and said to the boy: "I have never healed anyone, and I have only studied medicine for a few days. Let's start with it, I can only give it a try. ”

"Better than nothing, girl, follow me!"

The little guy is young, but his feet are very good. I walked for two hours on the mountain road when I came, and he dragged me for less than an hour. But by the time I arrived, I was out of breath and had only half my life left.

"What are you going to do?" Mingyi stood beside the bed in a red robe, and his face was so beautiful that I almost forgot that there was a bleeding patient in the room.

"I'll heal, what about you?"

"Witch before doctor, don't you know?" Ming Yi walked up to me and chuckled, "You've only been on the mountain for a few days, and you dare to come to practice medicine?" If he dies, don't think about leaving. ”

"I'll heal him!" I raised my head and swore by it.

"Oh, really?" Ming Yi smiled slightly, and his wide sleeves swung like a gust of wind and disappeared in front of my eyes.

But less than half an hour after I let go of the cruel words, I regretted it. Lying on the bed was a man in his twenties, his eyes closed, his whole body was hot, a new wound on his arm was bleeding, and an old wound on his abdomen was ulcerated and swollen.

The boy mistook me! All he said was that he was wounded and bleeding. I didn't say it, the wound was festering, and the whole body was hot!

Xiao Tong looked at the man's increasingly pale face, and couldn't help but pull my sleeve and said urgently: "Girl, you are quick to cure!" ”

Forget it, let the dead be the doctor of the living!

"Give me a sharp dagger, and then find someone to wash and mash the roots of these herbs, and this unicorn will be ground into powder and handed it to me."

"No!" The boy took a dagger from his bosom and handed it to me, then took the herbs and hurried out of the house.

I roasted the dagger over the fire and slowly cut open the man's coat, revealing the wound inside. The arm was a sword wound, but the abdomen was ulcerated, red and swollen, and it was difficult to see clearly. According to the handscroll of the doctor's dust, the dead flesh must be removed from the rotting wound before the medicine can be applied. But look at the dagger in his hand, the blade is too thick to do such a delicate work.

"Girl, it's all done." The boy walked in with two lacquer plates.

"Put it down, who has the sharpest dagger in this valley?"

"Naturally, my eldest brother's dagger is the fastest and sharpest."

"What about your eldest brother, can I borrow his dagger?"

"Girl, it's my eldest brother lying on this bed." The boy put down the lacquer dish in his hand, leaned over and pulled out a dagger that was only two inches long and half an inch wide from the man's shoes, "Girl, give it!" ”

I unsheathed my dagger, and a chill came over me. This dagger is narrow, short and sharp, and it is no worse than the dagger that Gongzi Li gave me before.

I first wiped the dagger with a burnt scorpion, and then burned it on the fire: "You help me press him!" I'm going to cut off the dead carrion first. "I said to the little boy.

Xiao Tong frowned and nodded, pressing his entire body against the man's lap.

The man on the bed was unconscious, but when I started to do it, he was still shaking in pain. I couldn't bear it, so I could only try to do it as fast as possible to alleviate his pain.

After dressing and bandaging, I was already tired and sweaty, and I couldn't straighten my waist after bending for a long time, so I could only pull a futon mat and lay down next to the bed: "Little boy, I'm watching here." You go and guard the medical dust, and as soon as he wakes up, bring him here! ”

"No!" The boy saluted, looked at the man uneasily, opened the door and walked out.

At this time, only me and the man were left in the room. Curious, I took two steps to the head of the bed, taking a closer look at the man who claimed to be the head of the Celestial Assassins. He looked thin and cold, and he looked a little familiar with his eyes closed. I heard the boy say that he was wounded by an arrow in Qi and survived all the way here. Yesterday at the bottom of the mountain, in order to save a woman who was robbed by mountain bandits, he added a new injury on his arm, and he has been unconscious.

To be able to do the main thing of Xun hexagram is naturally to have extraordinary ability. But what I admire is not his kung fu, but his character, a person who is obviously injured so badly, will actually save people, it is really chivalrous. Before I entered Tianshu, I was 120,000 wary of going to this tiger's den to explore the depths, but when I entered here, I met all poor, lovely, and respectable people. If it weren't for the fact that I was worried about Si'er, innocent, and couldn't let go of Wu Feng, I really wanted to stay and be a child who planted medicine to cure diseases.

After an hour, the wound on the man's arm stopped bleeding, but the man still had a high fever and trembled all over. I had no other way at the moment but to get ice water from outside and wipe him with a handkerchief to cool him down.

After coming and going, the sun sank in the west, the moon rose in the east, and the people on the bed finally slept more peacefully, so I lay on the head of the bed and fell asleep.

"Who are you?" In the middle of the night, I was awakened from my sleep by a hoarse voice.

"You're awake!" I hurriedly tried it on the man's forehead with my hand, and the high fever seemed to subside a little, "Are you thirsty?" Do you want to drink water? ”

"Am I dreaming?" I just wanted to get up and pour water, but the man held my hand firmly.

"You're not dreaming, you're back alive. Tomorrow, when Yichen wakes up, let him come to see you. ”

The man's blurred gaze fell on my eyes, and suddenly he smiled, the corners of his pale and chapped mouth lifted slightly, and two inaudible words were squeezed out of his dry throat: "Ah Shi......"

"Who are you?" I was stunned, and just as I was about to ask, he tilted his head and fainted.
